U+CA6C "쩬" Hangul Syllable Jjen is a specific character in the Korean Hangul writing system, representing a syllable formed by the initial consonant "jj" (a tense, doubled version of "j"), the vowel "e" (as in "bed" in the Revised Romanization system), and the final consonant "n". This character is part of the Hangul Syllables block in Unicode, which encodes all 11,172 possible modern Hangul syllables in a systematic order based on their initial, medial, and final components.
